Bowing Basement Walls Restored in Saint James, MN

Before

After

Charles W. in Saint James, MN had large, stair-step like cracks in three of his basement walls. He noticed they had started to bow inwards, so he decided it would be a good idea to have a professional look at it. A friend of his had a good experience with American Waterworks so he recommended that Charles contact us to repair his foundation. Charles called us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the situation and find a solution for him. Charles was pleased with the thorough plan that Jeremy developed, and he felt that we were a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew strategically placed seventeen Geo-Lock wall anchors along the three bowing walls. The anchors are placed in the ground outside of the home and drilled into the basement walls. Then, the plates are screwed on and tightened. Once the plates are tightened, the walls straighten and stabilize. Charles can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to secure his foundation because our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty.

5.0/5David L.

This was a great experience. Was it expensive? Yes...but not as expensive as a water damaged basement or caved in walls. Our basement is structurally sturdier AND it looks better! Thanks Dylan, Juan, Denise and everyone at American Waterworks!

Foundation repair and concrete repair

In addition to our basement expertise, we also excel at foundation repair and concrete leveling. We understand how crucial a foundation is to the integrity of your home, and we know how scary foundation cracks and bowing walls can be. Using a line of foundation repair products designed by structural and geotechnical engineers at Foundation Supportworks, we can solve these issues and more when you come to us with your foundation needs.

If concrete slab settlement is affecting your home, we will provide PolyLevel to lift and level these slabs back to their original positions. Concrete leveling is more important than you might think because uneven, bumpy driveways and sidewalks can cause tripping hazards - be sure to ask us about concrete lifting when we visit your home!

American Waterworks also offers NexusPro and SealantPro for a seamless driveway. NexusPro is an incredibly durable and long-lasting solution for cracked concrete repair. NexusPro is resistant to UV rays and harsh weather, and sets in as little as one hour. SealantPro, our driveway sealing formula, is not available in your local home improvement store and protects your concrete against damage for 3-5 times longer! Call today for a free estimate on amazing PolyLevel injections, NexusPro or SealantPro applications.

Bob K. in Saint James, MN had water leaking into his basement. It had started to damage his property and it was creating an unhealthy living space. He decided it was time to find a professional waterproofing contractor. A friend recommended American Waterworks, so he gave us a call and set up a time for a FREE estimate.

One of our Design Specialists when to his home and evaluated the situation. Our Design Specialist laid out numerous options for Bob, and he decided he wanted to have our WaterGuard drainage system installed along two walls that drain to a new sump pump.

The installation of the WaterGuard and the SuperSump sump pump took about a full day to complete. Bob's basement is now protected from water seeping into his basement from those two walls. He also now has a sufficient sump pump to discharge the water from the home. Bob's peace of mind has now been restored because he no longer has to be concerned about water entering that area of him home.
